Max Holmes has continued his excellent start to the 2024 season, receiving AFLCA votes for the sixth time in his last seven games.
Holmes was one of Geelong's best in their Round 11 loss to the Giants recording a game high 32 disposals.
The 21-year-old also led the Cats for intercept possessions with nine and pushed forward to kick a goal in a complete performance.
After spending most of his time across half back to start the season, Holmes spent more time in the middle and received praise for his performance post-game from senior coach Chris Scott.
"We probably saw him as a midfielder first at the start of the year, but he was just so electric behind the ball that we kept going with it. But we have been beaten in that area for a few weeks now, so it just made sense to have him around the ball a little bit more," Scott said post-game.
"I think he's delivered."
Forward Tyson Stengle also featured in the votes after another eye-catching display.
Stengle finished with two goals from 16 disposals and also had seven score involvements.
Jeremy Cameron remains Geelong's leading vote getter for the season with 32 to sit 20th in the competition after 11 rounds.
